Accurises! Accurises?

I'm pulling my pledge, sir!

My guess is that it is the name of a 10th level spell from the Elite RPG:

Accurisation (10th level, 20 spell points, lasts until broken): By casting this spell the caster is able to fit 5%/level more cargo into the cargo bay of a ship.

Spells??? SPELLS??? This is Elite, not some poor Shadowrun copy! Hard. Science.

It's psionics.

Accurise (or accurize) is a firearms term.

It's a general term for "making things accurate". Whether that be ranged weaponry or (in my experience), making a model look more like the real thing. "Accurising kits" are available for most commercially available plastic model kits on the market.

That's where I grabbed the term from.

And VERY good it is too... Nom.

That does look lovely, am I right in thinking you'll be able to fast forward/rewind time whilst using this screen so you can see all the stuff orbit about?

Those new screen shots in the latest update , um, the guns on the sidewinder in that first pic make me think of this...

..but I imagine this probably says more about me than it does the art direction of EliteD

Yes, but had to TinEye it.

Passenger ships/luxury yachts - there's something I don't like about them, which I can't quite put my finger on.
Something almost Jobsian about them, perhaps - or maybe I'm just grumpy today!
